Absolute gem of a spot right in the hustle of UCLA and LA in general. You can quickly stroll through or meander and wander in this urban retreat for a couple hours. Shaded spots for seating and even some areas to read or picnic. Parking is kinda of an issue. There are problems and online information about events and activities. Thank you for the staff who provide this awesome garden. You can find koi fish and turtles in the water too.

I can't remember the last time I came to the gardens, but it was too long ago! This is a beautiful oasis in the midst of the city. The grounds are meticulously kept. It is clean, green, and just a wonderful place to have a peaceful walk.

Nice trail adjacent to ucla med school. Takes about 30 minutes to visit, but tables and benches are available if you want to linger or have lunch. Parking lot near the entrance is $3/hour.

It was a delightful experience. The guide, Jules was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. It was like traveling the world with the variety of plants that we saw. A site of calm and coolness on a hot August day in So CA (Westwood by UCLA). Worth a visit in every season.
